We must, like a painter, take time to stand back from our work, to be still, and thus see what's what. . . True repose is standing back to survey the activities that fill our days.

Everything I do is to support my passion, and that is the rescuing of animals!

Take a look at all the third-world countries that are increasing the so called standard of living. One aspect of this rise in standard of living is the increased consumption of animal products, which directly correlates with the rise in heart disease.

I think, when God told Moses, Thou shall not kill, I think God meant, Thou shall not kill. And within the next one hundred years, we will see that God was right.

The best thing you can do for the planet is be vegan or vegetarian.

If you are passionate only about yourself -that is the road to disaster.

I was an only child. Growing up, we moved a lot, so I didn't have any close friends. So the animals I was around as a child - dogs, cats, and horses, and stuffed animals - became my family and friends. The only strong bonds I made as a child were with animals.

Being vegan or vegetarian isn't just about compassion for animals. Most of the destruction of the planet is the result of all the clear-cutting, groundwater contamination, grain production, fuel consumption, greenhouse gas, viral proliferation - the direct result of livestock production.

I realized that all animals, not just dogs and cats and horses, were sentient beings therefore, I just couldn't say I love animals and then eat them.

I stake the future on the few humble and hearty lovers who seek God passionately in the marvelous, messy world of redeemed and related realities that lie in front of our noses.

Either we change our ways, especially the United States, or we will continue to lead the world in heart disease and cancer.

You have to be passionate about something other than yourself!
